Thankyou Digerati.

Ah thanks Guys that's really helpful. Just out of interest I attach diagram of direction of airflow in my low profile case. In my opinion, for what it's worth, I think it does work okay, since the air is sucked in the side panel down onto the heatsink and CPU, then is drawn over the other...

Please, I recently discarded my CPU fan (an Intel E18764) in favour of an Akasa one. My new fan seems to suck air in through the side panel, whereas I am sure the old one used to blow it out. I have an Antec Minuet low profile case. Thanks! :-)

Thanks. I will uninstall Windows Defender.

Hi, Please, I have Kapersky Internet Security 2012, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro and Windows Defender installed and I scan regularly with all three respectively. Is this too many scanner programs? I am worried there may be conflicts between the programs which will leave my computer more...

Sorry I couldn't be more help. :)

Ah yes of course it runs from the CD so it shouldn't matter which Os is installed. Thanks a million!

Please, Trouble, I would be very grateful if you could tell me if an appropriate version of Windows Defender on a bootable Cd etc. will help fix windows XP, and if there is one available if this latest version won't run on an XP machine? Sorry I realise this is off-topic/off forum but I have a...

Well didn't have time to try that, am just going to wipe my hard drive and re-install Windows 7. Edit: Hey Titanic, good advice man! I tried 4 different mice and the first three responded with random things (single click shut down on Office symbol in Excel and single click opened files (even...

Thanks that clarifies things!

I heard on TV You will be able to upgrade from ANY Windows system to Windows 8 for £20. (That's about $15).

Thanks but I tried my with my spare mouse and even changed the mousepad, but experienced the same issues. The symptoms were mainly in Excel and with windows file manager, however today I have also noticed issues in Internet Explorer where I click on a link and nothing happens and I have to click...
